I have two grids inside a TabItem and in the code-behind I want to be able to add controls to both grids and have all the controls visible at run-time. Currently at run-time the controls added to "Grid3" are not visible while he controls added to "Grid4" are visible.
The overlapping grids have the same rows but a different set of columns.
I'm trying to do this with two grids so that I can vary the number of controls I can add per row in the code-behind by adding the controls to one of the two grids.
Here's the XML:
<Grid Name="TabControlGrid" Margin="20,171,0,70">
<TabControl >
<TabItem Header="Tab1" >
<Grid Name="InnerTabControlGrid">
<!--Start Grid3-->

The controls in the XML are just place holders for the controls I am adding to the grids in the code-behind.
If anyone can suggest a solution I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Remove the background from the grid. You can not see through a solid color.
